Before:
Turn usb debugging on on your phone
install htc sync on your pc (needed for the usb drivers)
Create a goldcard, you can use this tool: mediafire .com/?tux4afd7j7gc7z1
Download this: mediafire .com/?3uo3ftfznc1fy66 fastboot+adb (tools.zip)
Download this: mediafire .com/?ih6amhh2kzm4q6g stock 2.3.5 eu files (PG76IMG.zip), thanks to d33ps1x.
Unlock your bootloader @ htcdev.com <<-- don't know if that is necessary, but it really won't hurt.
The actual process:
Extract tools.zip for example in c:\android
Now open PG76IMG.zip and extract the files: boot.img and system.img to the same folder you extracted tools.zip for this example c:\android
Now you should have 5 files in c:\android, adb.exe; fastboot.exe; adbwinapi.dll; boot.img; system.img.
Now go into the bootloader of your phone and select fastboot.
Now connect your phone to your pc.
Open up a command prompt and go to the location where you extracted the files.
In this example you will type:
cd c:\android
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now type
adb reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
your phone will now reboot into the bootloader.
once your phone is done type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
^(some say this isn't needed, so you could try without flashing this.)^
once your phone finished type
fastboot flash system system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
once that is done type
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your phone should now restart and the non branded htc stock rom will load.
Please let me know if it worked

Have you used htcdev .com/bootloader/ to unlock your phone?
And this is how you create the goldcard:
download this: mediafire .com/?tux4afd7j7gc7z1
connect phone to pc and select htc sync as connection type
run the download goldcardtool as admin
click get cid
copy the numbers that appear.
click the link, the site will speak for itself.
now click load goldcard.img find the image you just got from that site.
the drop down box after htc mmc should show: driveletter:\
that driveletter has to be the driveletter of your sd card in your phone.
Now click patch mmc and you have your goldcard.

Maybe someone else know's another way but that's the only one I know that works .

thank u for support i have unlocked bootloader and have right now cleaned soft
but is there a way to go back locked for warranty?

so you mean that your phone still in stock right..?
while you installing that RUU before..is that already finish..?
did you already tried flashing that RUU again...?, maybe you can try it to flashing it that RUU again but now is tried flashing it from your bootloader..
to do that you must go to bootloader and select FASTBOOT..then connecting it your phone to pc until indicator is FASTBOOT-USB..then try open cmd from your adb / sdk folder..then typing "fastboot oem rebootRUU"..then after that..you can try running again RUU.exe from your computer..and wait until finish..then just tell me if that success booting or not..

after i did this command : "fastboot oem rebootRUU" it appers like a menu(see the picture) What should i do?run again that RUU?write a command before i run it?cheers

are you sure you do that command while your phone connected to pc and it's in bootloader FASTBOOT-USB mode..?
and you sure htc driver at your pc correctly detected your phone..?
if so..just try another fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and just show me the output of this command..

firstly remove your phone serial number and imei from the attachment picture...avoid someone can cloning your phone...
you can try download this RUU from here..
after that without connecting your phone to pc..firstly you must find the rom.zip file from that RUU.exe..to do that..
just running that RUU.exe until two steps next..then hold there..do not continued and do not closed that..just let it open..then open your explorer..
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Temp\[here you will find a lot folder like this "{5CAD3393-EEC0-44CE-9F93-BCAA365B77FB}"] ..search the latest folder by date..and inside that folder you will find subfolder like that again..open it..here you will see the rom.zip file..just copied the rom.zip file to another location...then after that you can cancel and close it RUU.exe
rename it the rom.zip file to "PD98IMG.zip" then copied to the root directory of your sd card (do not place it in any folder)..you can using card reader to copied that file..
after that...just put it in back your sd card to your phone..then boot up your phone to bootloader..then let the bootloader check it the PD98IMG.zip file..and wait until they ask to updating it..just confirm it with volume up..then wait until finish and ask you to confirm reboot with pressing power button..after that if your phone is already success a booting normal again..you must remove it the PD98IMG.zip file from your sd card..

that's so weird things...
what if you try too installing that RUU.exe like normal way...i mean just connecting your phone with pc (select FASTBOOT mode from your bootloder) then running that RUU.exe until finish..
if that still fail too...then another way is you can try it to unlocking your bootloader via htcdev.com first..then after that you can continued installing custom recovery like 4ext, twrp or cwm..and then installing custom rom..
to unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com...firstly you must update your hboot version to 2.00.0029...that hboot update file is already in there site..just follow instruction from site it self..

This so weird...because that you told me with these both RUU that you had already installed is all process had success completed until finish....but what i know is...that's impossible the phone while still in stock condition can received two different stock RUU with different cid num too...accept if your already had a goldcard and flashing it just through bootloader..
Anyway...just unlocking that bootloader first then after success unlocking...i will continued told you what step by step you must to do next...
Now i'm gone a sleep..

Check for maximus or arhd (NOT the lollipop versions but a slight older one) in the dev section or get a new stock backup matching your version number in the general section - collection of firmwares, stock backups and more by @exocetdj
And if that doesn't give you the correct steps and files than try the specific Sprint M8 support subforum

Ah i see in the Sprint section. Maybe it's good to mention that too in the first reply because this is the international section and therefore doesn't hold Sprint ruu files. So that confused me a bit. Thanks for the link

Hi
I relock the bootloader and did the prrevious steps. Now its worked.
Now it shows "RELOCKED" in the bootloader menu.
Is it the normal sign ?

Yes as you are s-on that's normal. Only with s-off you can change those flags to LOCKED

Trouble installing RUU?

I'm trying to install the latest RUU for my developer edition. The RUU loads till the point where I accept the agreement and then nothing. I'm on Windows 8.1. Here is where I got the RUU from http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
Any idea why is this happening or how to fix it? I'm having all sort of problems with the phone at the moment. I'm giving a RUU a try to see if it fixes it.
Thanks in advance!

Same thing happens to me, no idea why. Works fine in Windows 7. some people say it's to do with needing a C++ Update but that didn't work for me either
What you can do, though, is once at the T&Cs screen, open a run box and type in %temp% and it'll take you to the Temporary Files folder on your PC and if you look at the newest folders there should be 2. One will contain a compressed file called 'rom'. Copy this to your Desktop, then to a microSD card and flash that via HBOOT or flash it via RUU mode using htc_fastboot.exe (which you can find here)

How do I flash the rom file through HBOOT or the RUU mode using htc_fastboot.exe (87.7 KB)?

To flash the ZIP in RUU mode
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip
And unfortunately no, I don't know which update it was as didn't work

I've never done this through RUU mode before, so I'll double check with you.
I'll open normal fastboot. Copy the rom.zip to the root of theSD Card or to the same folder where fastboot is? Also where to place HTC_fastboot.exe, same as fastboot or in the root of SD Card? Then I'll enter the command fastboot oem rebootRUU then htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip? I'm sorry for the basic questions, thanks a lot!

If you're flashing it manually you don't copy it to your phone, just put it in your fastboot folder along with the htc_fastboot file and then do it all with the phone in fastboot mode

This is the same like applying the RUU exe? This will wipe everything and install everything from zero, right? On HBOOT I have a modified software status , is this going to be fixed as well?

Yep, completely resets the phone to factory defaults

@EddyOS
Sorry for asking more questions, but last time I applied a RUU was with my M7 when I first bought it. If I'm going to apply the RUU exe, does i have to be on fastboot or while the phone is on? Flashing the rom.zip, do I have to flash or format anything through fastboot or should reboot fastboot or simply reboot the phone? Applying RUU, does it reinstall HBOOT? Sorry and thanks again!

My previous post answers your last bit - it puts EVERYTHING back to factory and the latest versions
RUU.exe you can run when in Android or in fastboot mode, RUU.zip HAS to be flashed in RUU mode.
I've said everything you need to know so if you still don't get it, don't bother trying it

Htc 10 , No Rom Installed Help

Good Day, first time posting so here is the huge problem i have.
1 - My power button no longer works
2 - No ROM installed
3 - Vol buttons work
So due to an error on my part i wiped my system , data, delv/cache , and because i was rushing i rebooted the phone before installing the new rom. Now normally i would just boot into recovery and flash a rom, but my power button no longer works. I can get into download mode if the phone dies by holding vol down and plugging into a pc, and such can use fastboot commands, but with no Rom i cant get USB debugging to use "adb reboot recovery" . Is there anyway that i can get into recovery or a way to flash stock recovery, system and such. thanks in advance.

Have tried an ruu? I suggest using the sdcard method. Safest.

i havent tried that, i thought i need stock recovery and to relock the bootloader for RUU, can you explain "SD card method" .

No you don't need to lock bl. Or need stock recovery, That's outdated info.
Sure:
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.

Absolutely. Are you soff or son?
If son Id have to double check about locking bl but I'm quite sure that's very old info, and ruu has the stock recovery and just overwrites w.e you have
And soff you 100% don't need to mess w anything.
I'm soff/locked bl and flash ruu all the time. :good:
HTC website may even have directions but not sure.
RUU wiil wipe internal ste

Oh shoot I was thinking backwards, sorry. You need be stock ruu to turn from soff to son.
You can flash ruu np son, but it must match your cid/mid - Carrier ID / Mosel ID.

well its like a brick now anyway, im not sure if i did the CID "111111" , something like that a long time ago. well ill see what i can do, thanks for all your help

That's "SuperCID" and iirc you need soff to achieve, I have it as well set to that. It allows you to flash any ruu to your device.
Very welcome, mention me if you are in need of anything else.

Dang yea I think you did f need the vol for SD method... Shoot.
But you don't need to lock bl..
That's not correct line: you need to be in rebootRUU mode.
I'm just gunna copy and paste this from vzw thread, applies to all.
"Option 1
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!"
